Don't try to predict the lifespan of love. In love, everyone is a Don Quixote who is sure to swear forever. Of course, the pain is unpredictable and huge and turbulent, let alone how indestructible and strong you are. In the unknown pain, you can only be a superficial warrior who uses all means and disguise to numb yourself.
And when you thought that this unforgettable pain will never be let go and this love will be the commanding height of your life that cannot be surpassed, hehe, I'm sorry you started to delusion again, the love you couldn't predict is happening again subtly . Ben Willis chose to resist sleep. He said that he couldn't sleep day after day, just because he couldn't make the people he loves happy. In the nights when love was gone, he beautified everything he had in his memories again and again. Recalling the blond woman running under the warmth of sufficient natural light, recalling every beautiful moment, but this stupid man unknowingly used this method to sprinkle salt on the wound when he realized the magnitude of the pain. I appreciate the time stagnation imagined by this typical boring man. At that moment, he became someone who could control himself, but he could not control the rhythm of time and others. Can this second and the next be correct? The time went on, beyond his control. The stagnation of time sometimes allows him to fully appreciate and enjoy the moments he thinks are beautiful, but this stupid man ignores it again, he can't let time stay like this forever, the beauty will still flow in its irreversible direction, It's just a matter of sooner or later. But what is understandable is that it is the stagnation of time again and again that makes him gradually forget the pain of love flowing away, and unknowingly creates and accepts new love.
Sean Ellis is indeed a master of storytelling. He can use many ingenious and easily sublimated factors to decompose an originally extremely simple story structure into many aspects that make people think from multiple perspectives, such as time stagnation, the protagonist's inner monologue, painting , the protagonist's dream... These all sublime a simple and common way of emotional entanglement layer by layer, and even make people believe again and again in the ferocity of the sharp blade of love and its radiation in beautiful moments. An extremely powerful light.
What's interesting is that I thought it was another boring movie, but in the process of watching it, I occasionally couldn't help laughing. Sean Ellis's superb writing skills are once again shown. He is very deliberately and casually setting up a number of little characters without brains but with their own characteristics beside the boring male protagonist Ben Willis. They each have their own characteristics Each lifestyle has its own interests. Although it is obviously isolated from the spiritual life of the hero, it also adds flavoring to the film, allowing the audience to easily and deeply accept the theme of the film.
And those memories of childhood, which are really good ideas, and you can see how the character of the protagonist develops, and that's where the storyline is going. Love unfolds section by section, hollowed out section by section, and the cycle goes on and on. And this little boy who has been sullen since he was a child is shuttled between the pain and sweetness of love, reality and illusion.
The most profound thing is the unique inner monologue in the film, which not only allows the viewer to experience the details and the psychology of the characters, but also stimulates the viewer's heart, so that the main purpose of the film is more than one in the audience's heart. Transmission at multiple depths of angles.
It may be the limitation of self-perception. I thought at first that this was another emotionally devastating tragedy, but on the contrary, the storyteller told a turning point that came at the end that made people almost despair. , and a twist that is both illusory and beautiful. So I thought it was right to be confused, Sean Ellis, do you want to say that love is actually beautiful, or do you want to say that this kind of beauty only exists in an unrealistic and beautiful world?
But one thing is for sure, love is difficult and can never happen by rules.
"Once upon a time I wondered what love is, love is there when you need it, you just have to see it, wrapped in beauty, hidden in every second of your life. If you can't stop for even a minute Come down, you'll miss it."
I think I'm more likely to be the one who can't stop, because I often don't see the love wrapped in beauty when it's needed, but I can't deny that love is actually all-pervasive Things that are often not felt are hidden in every second of life.
Maybe this is what Sean Ellis wants to say the most. It's not that it's not beautiful, it's not that it doesn't exist, it's not that it's not realistic, it's that you don't know. It is hidden in every second of your life, like air, colorless and odorless, but when you feel it, it is extremely strong.
